Movement allows us to maximize our lives. And in too many places, there are those without the means or the options to optimize their health and mobility.

It is when we MoveTogether that we have the best chance of overcoming this challenge. Your donations will go a long way in supporting our projects and participants as we work to fulfill our Mission.

Pro Bono Incubator

We believe that every good idea to improve access to care should be funded. That is why we created the Pro Bono Incubator (PBI), a program designed to support development and innovations of new and existing pro bono clinics in the United States. More specifically, the PBI is an application-based program that grants funds and provides mentorship to individuals or groups who solely or primarily provide rehabilitation services to the underserved.

2019-20 Applications

We are proud to announce that Move Together will be granting $10,000 in funding to innovative non-profit organizations again in 2019. Please see below for details regarding the application process:

Applications Open: March 1

Application Deadline: April 30

Recipient Notification: June 15

Grant Cycle: July 1, 2019, to June 30, 2020

In 2017-2018, PBI funded 6 innovative non-profit organizations, resulting in nearly 300 contact hours in the first four months of the grant cycle.

Resources

The Pro Bono Playbook: Pro bono rehabilitation services can look a variety of ways. We created the Pro Bono Playbook as a way to highlight the diverse nature of the pro bono world and demonstrate all that’s possible. This is a great resource for individuals who are looking to create, improve, and sustain a pro bono rehabilitation program.

Mentorship: Move Together has a network of experienced individuals ready and willing to provide mentorship for those seeking to improve access to care in their communities. Mentorship can be offered for new programs, outcomes data collection and analysis, brainstorming, and more. If you’d like to be connected with a mentor, please email our PBI Program Director, Ciara Burgi, at ciaraburgi@movetogether.org.

PBI Success Stories: We collaborated with Talus Media to highlight some of the extraordinary PBI 2017-18 grant winners and share their stories. Check out our 4 podcasts with Talus Media to learn more about PBI and hear from some of the amazing grantees.

"One of the things that I have learned – and continue to be confronted with – is that it is so important, so critical to give people a voice, a position, worth, and meaning. When they participate in my program, they feel seen, they feel heard, and they feel significant...This project is about physical therapy, but it is also about dignity, independence, and living a full life."

- Carol-Ann Nelson of Destination Rehab, a 2017-18 PBI grant winner

Frequently Asked Questions

How much funding is being awarded? Does it all go to one applicant?
The total available amount of funding for 2019-20 is $10,000. Multiple grants of varying amounts will be awarded based on strength of application and appropriateness of budget estimate and justification. Applicants are encouraged to apply for and justify only the amount needed to successfully complete their proposed project.

Who can apply? Do I need to be associated with a non-profit organization?
Licensed therapists, PT/PTA students, and faculty affiliated with a rehab medicine profession (ie PT, OT, SLP, etc) are encouraged to apply. The organization applying for the grant must have a non-profit status or be partnering with a non-profit organization that will serve as a fiduciary agent. Additionally, the efforts must be geared towards a clinic in the United States.

What should I consider as I prepare my application?
Applicants must detail how funding will be utilized to improve access to care in their community. Applications will be judged based on innovation, sustainability, demonstration of need, quality of care improvement strategies, and demonstration of a plan to evaluate for success. We encourage you to let your imaginations run wild by asking yourself questions like:

–What does the most effective, and efficient clinic look like?

–How can we maximize every single dollar spent?

–How can we ensure we are providing the very best care for all of our population?

We are here to help make those dreams and aspirations a possibility!

Can someone help me with my application?
Mentorship is available to aid in the pursuit of each applicant’s innovation. If you would like to be paired with a mentor, please email Ciara at ciaraburgi@movetogether.org. Move Together hopes to build relationships, strengthen the pro bono community, and support each applicant regardless of whether or not each applicant is able to be funded.
